To describe the relationship between Apple and Samsung as 'troublesome' would be an ineffective euphemism, at best. The two companies are fierce rivals in business, whether it's about patents, tablets and, of course, smartphones. Lobbyists in each camp swear their brand is better, but don't take their word for it. Let's put the products to the test.
SquareTrade did just that, grabbing Apple's iPhone 4S and the Samsung Galaxy S3 and plunging both units into a series of drop tests to see which model would fare better.
The tests included dropping both handsets onto a cement ground; placing the phones in the hands of rowdy kids; and putting both models on the roof of a car before driving off. Each challenge replicated common causes for smartphone damage.
So, which branded phone came out on top? Check out the full video below and assess the conducive carnage.

The Sheriff's Office understands the importance of the special training involved when responding to a law enforcement call for service that involve mentally ill and/or mentally disabled individuals in crisis. Over the last 40 years, changes in mental health laws, closing of mental health facilities and law enforcement policies have brought law enforcement officers into ever increasing contacts with people who suffer from mental illness. Local Santa Barbara County Law Enforcement officials have estimated that anywhere from 15- 45% of all calls for service involve some type of contact with a mentally ill subject. People suffering from mental illness such as those with schizophrenia, those who are psychotic and sociopathic, respond differently to communication than healthy mentally sound individuals.
The Sheriff's Behavioral Sciences Unit was formed to oversee cases involving mental illness, to develop a Crisis Intervention Team and to build community partnerships to help adopt restorative justice principles to divert individuals from the criminal justice system and into appropriate services.
The BSU has collaborated with our mental health agency, local hospitals, NAMI, private non-profit support groups and other local law enforcement agencies to develop training programs and assist law enforcement and community members involved in these types of calls for service.
The Sheriff's Office has realized a great improvement in communication and collaboration with other agencies and the community due to the efforts of this unit. The BSU is made up of a PhD coordinator, Dr. Cherylynn Lee, and collaterally assigned law enforcement officers, custody deputies and police dispatchers.
Our BSU developed an 8-hour P.O.S.T. Crisis Intervention Team course and a 40 hour P.O.S.T. course. To date, the BSU has trained over 650 law enforcement officers, custody deputies and dispatchers in the 8-hour course. We have trained 100% of our personnel in the 8-hour course and personnel and agencies in and outside of the county as well.
We also created a 40-hour CIT academy offered to California law enforcement agencies which allowed us to train our collateral Crisis Intervention Team who will respond to calls in the field with a better understanding of mental health issues and increased training on available services and more specialized de-escalation training.

How to Stencil
Stencil your walls for an easy decorating update. Here's how to stencil and bring pattern to your walls.
-Stenciling your walls adds color, pattern and personality. We'll show you how to stencil like a pro. You'll need a drop cloth, painter's tape, interior latex paint, a stencil, stencil spray adhesive, a level, paper plates, paper towels, stenciling brushes and a small foam roller. Lightly spray the back of the stencil with stencil spray adhesive. Add tape to the top edge. When it's tacky, press the stencil on to the wall. Paint adheres best to walls painted with a flat base. Start your stencil pattern at the top center of the wall. Check with the level and apply painter's tape along in the edges. For larger stencil patterns, lightly coat a roller with paint. Blot on the paper towel. And then, roll paint under the stencil applying light to medium pressure. To continue the pattern, map subsequent stencils with the painted pattern. To finish edges, hold the stencil along in the corners and trim and fill in with paint. Now, you know how to stencil a beautiful wall to accent any room.

Happy Easter! I've styled a lovely Easter Dress for some fun style inspo this week!
A Place for all Things Fashion, Style, and Beauty...
Happy Easter! I've styled a lovely Easter Dress for some fun style inspo this week!
It is Spring, at last! The days are longer; the nights are shorter and best of all, it is getting warmer. You may not have a huge budget to overhaul your wardrobe, but it is the greatest time of the year to get organized and add a few new fashion staples to your life.
Before we get started, though, let's talk about you. This year why not nail any body issues you have had? You don't need to go on a crash diet or change the way you look dramatically, just think about making the most of what you have got. You probably feel a little pale than you would like to be, so invest in a great fake tan such as SiennaX. You can then bare your legs in confidence. Update your skincare routine too, a good exfoliation and tons of moisturizer will help dull and lackluster skin start to look a little more glowing. You could also get with the hair exfoliation trend. Using a sugar based scalp scrub, this treatment could boost your locks and give you Kate Middleton hair! That is a look we all could do with. Tidy up the areas you neglected over winter and then move forward to a little wardrobe revamp.
As it is spring, we are in the perfect season to bust out the dress. You may be one of the many girls who hates wearing dresses, and the thought of it make you cringe. However, there are so many styles out there now that there surely has to be one to fit your style, let's take a look at some of the options.
One of the best crossover dresses which can be worn throughout the seasons is the super cool denim dress. Denim has been in the fashion world since 1950, and most of us own at least one pair of jeans. The denim dress looks incredible dressed up or dressed down and can be found in a number of lengths. Short it probably the easiest to wear but there are some great denim maxi dresses available on the high street.
Mix it up with tribal style or opt for a more Beyonce charm by sticking to large gold pieces and a pair of tennis shoes. You can go bare legs, or you could throw it over leggings, tights or even a pair of white capri pants. The denim dress also looks stunning with thigh high boots for a little extra impact; you could pull this look off during the day or the evening, so it is a brilliant dress to wear to the office on a Friday, especially if you have a group of colleagues who love a night out. If you want to embrace the denim look without spending a fortune, check out DontPayFull.com and find yourself a bargain!
Busting out your florals is a must do in spring and one of the easiest ways to do that is in the elegant Skater dress. This is a flattering style which works well on its own or layered up; it even looks good over leather look skinny's. A wedge looks stunning if you are going with the bare leg option. As the skater dress is shorter at the front with a long, almost fishtail back, the flattering style slims your leg down and can hide your bum and thighs, not that we think you should hide them! But most of us girls like a little cover up, right? You don't have to stick to florals, go for a solid black for real effortless chic or get up to date with your color blocking and choose a neon bright.
The ultimate spring to summer dress has to be the loose white shirt. Don't worry about the cleaning issues here; there are loads of brilliant cleaning products on the market now so you can keep your whites looking bright. Team this look with bold accessories; gold is a perfect style for the white shirt dress. A little cowboy ankle boot and a fedora will give you the ultimate laid back style, but you could chuck on some strappy sandals and go with ultra-glam hair, to give this a high fashion twist.
It's spring ladies! So invest in a few statement dresses and get your fashion up to date and working for you. This is the perfect time of the year to switch up our look and hit the high street with confidence and attitude. Get shopping, get organized and get out there.
Happy Shopping!
Hey lovelies, is the warmer weather here yet? Well maybe not quite yet but it will be here soon! The stores are starting to fill up with some lovely spring fashion. This Year I'm seeing lots of fun prints, florals, and pretty pastels! Here I've collected (and modeled!) some of my favorite fashion finds this Spring! Best of all, most pieces are under $30! (or Pretty Darn Close!)
Click the link or picture to shop each product!
Pastel Pink Blazer $22 (Available in other colors) and Gray Long Sleeve Tee $11 (Also available in other colors- super cozy and soft too!)
Black Fitness Jacket $28 and White A-Line Dress $35 (Available in other colors1)
Faux Leather Biker Jacket $28 (Available in other colors!) and Distress Denim Jeans (Buy Similar Here $22)
Now is the time to give yourself a denim closet spring makeover. With spring break and music festivals in full swing, it is the month to get your insanely stylish weekend warrior outfits ready. Shorts are getting cheeky this year for music festivals, so you will now know what to wear to Ultra, SXSW and Coachella. Hemlines are moving up, as are the waistlines, with spring fashion trends for 2017 being all about denim shorts; shorts with high-rise waists, cut out detail, fray hems, and embroidery detail. For those cooler evenings, grab some white jeans that show off the ankles to make a statement, because nothing says summer like crisp white denim. Refresh your supply of warm-weather options from STS Blue.
My favorite spring trend this season is embroidery. You'll see denim shorts with cool embellishments and embroidered floral detail on a pocket or down one of the legs. It's a sweet and feminine touch that adds a bit of edge to create a fresh spring look. Totally works great for the laid-back, retro vibe of music festivals
1. The stretchy denim-look leggings have had their time in the limelight and it's time to go! This Spring, looser, more laid-back, worn-in looks are all the rage!
Hey lovelies, hope your week is treating you well!
Here is some fashion Inspo for the work week! I love how perfect this look is for going from work to cocktails!
Tweed Jacket $22 and Purple Dress $26
Oh warm weather and the joy of sandals! I have been looking forward to the warmer weather all winter long so I could finally but the boots away and break out the sandals. This Spring I will be shopping for some flat sandals, some wedges, and some cute heeled sandals for a big night out!
The trends are constantly changing each year when it comes to shoes. Here are some of my favorite spring trends for sandals! Be sure to read on to the bottom of this post to see how you can score any (Or ALL of Them!) at 35% OFF + Get FREE Shipping!
Lace up shoes were a big hit this past fall season and the trend has now made it's way into a summer version. Lace up sandals give interest to the ankle and pair perfectly with shorts, skirts, and ankle jeans. When it comes to sandals, it's all in the details. Fringed Strap Ends, patterned sandal designs, and bright colors are what makes these lacey sandals special.
Metallics & Neutrals
Metallics and neutrals work in the same way but do entirely different things. Neutral sandals that come in a shade close to your natural skin color (or slightly darker or lighter) give the appearance of an elongated leg. Wearing neutral sandals can give you lovely long legs without the price of wearing a sandal with a heal. Neutral colors also go with anything you decide to wear and can be mixed with metals, brights, and patterns.
Metallics work just like neutrals because they can also be worn with anything. My most worn pair of sandals are a rose gold metallic because they seem to spice up anything I wear and I can pair them with any purse, belt, or outfit. A pair of metallic gold or silver sandals are an absolute summer essential and owning a pair will make shoe packing for summer vacations simple and easy.
The gladiator sandal trend has been around for a while but with the revival of summer music festivals, gladiator sandals are making an even stronger comeback this year. Pairing simple pieces with knockout gladiator sandals can pull your whole summer look together. Adding a little wild card into your summer sandal wardrobe is a must this season!
Flatbed Sandals
These sandals really are as comfortable as they look. Running errands? Racing to the pool?Walking home from yoga? Throw a pair of these on instead of your nasty old rubber flip flops. Your feet will thank you and you will look more chic without putting in any extra effort. Flatbed sandals pair nicely with joggers, sporty shorts, and skinny jeans.
Fancy Flip Flops
Owning a pair of fancy flip flops is a must in the summer time. Cheap rubber flip flops have a reputation of breaking and wearing out quickly. Swapping out your traditional flip flops for a more dressed up version will give you a lot more versatility. A pair like these flip flops can be worn to the beach with a swimsuit or pair beautifully with a sweet little sundress on an evening out.

This is a sample essay about English language. If you need custom essay or any kind of essay online – contact SameDayPapers.com!
Norman invasion of 1066 is said to be a turning point of English history, which determined the entire further historical development of the country. Drastic changes, caused by it, touched the whole social, economic and cultural life of the conquered country and set it's seal on the language.
First and foremost, Norman French spoken by the invaders became the language of England's ruling class, which makes a contrast to the Vikings invasions two centuries earlier, when the linguistic structure did not reflect social stratification, and the ruling class continued to speak the same language as the lower classes. Also, Vikings were the tribes of Germanic family of languages same as the Anglo-Saxons were, and Normans brought the language related more to Latin and Romanic languages .
After the Norman conquest, the lower classes, while remaining English-speaking, were influenced nevertheless by the new vocabulary.
The conquerors provided the conquered with brilliant opportunity to get acquainted with their language while drafting the Domesday Book. French became the language of the affairs of government, court, the church, the army, and education where the newly adopted French words often substituted their former English counterparts. The linguistic influence of Norman French continued for as long as the Kings ruled both Normandy and England.
When King John lost Normandy in the years following 1200, the links to the French-speaking community subsided. English then slowly started to gain more weight as a common tongue within England again.
A hundred years later, English was again spoken by representatives of all social classes, this new version of the English language being strikingly different, of course, from the Old English used prior to the Norman invasion.
This new English was also much more integrated, since immediately after the conquest William, took care about cancellation of the ancient kingdoms of Mercia, Wessex and others, and centralized the State .
The influence of the Normans can be illustrated by looking at two words, beef and cow. Beef, commonly eaten by the aristocracy, derives from the Anglo-Norman, while the Anglo-Saxon commoners, who tended the cattle, retained the Germanic cow.
Many legal terms, such as indict, jury, and verdict have Anglo-Norman roots because the Normans ran the courts. This split, where words commonly used by the aristocracy have Romantic roots and words frequently used by the Anglo-Saxon commoners have Germanic roots, can be seen in many instances.
In some fields an original English terminology did not exist.
Therefore, many French terms were borrowed.
One example is the names of animals and their meat. Whereas the names of the animals remained the same, their meat was renamed according to the Norman custom. This correlated to the sociological structures: the farmers that raised the animals were predominantly English natives and could afford to keep using their own vocabulary while farming – those serving the meat at the diningroom table to the mainly French upper classes had to conform to the French language.
Thus, many new doublets appeared in English that were stylistically marked: cow/beef, calf/veal, swine/pork, sheep/mutton, deer/venison, sweat/perspire. (This once again makes a contrast to Norse/Anglo-Saxon doublets like raise/rear, etc., remained stylistically neutral, since both peoples held an equal social position.)
Sometimes French words replaced Old English words; crime replaced firen and uncle replaced eam. Other times, French and Old English components combined to form a new word, as the French gentle and the Germanic man formed gentleman. Other times, two different words with roughly the same meaning survive into modern English. Thus we have the Germanic doom and the French judgment, or wish and desire. In total about 10 thousand of words have been taken from French into English, most of which exist till present time. Also, many Anglo Saxon words narrowed in meaning to describe only the cruder, dirtier aspects of life.
Concepts associated with culture, fine living and abstract learning tended to be described by new Norman words .
As far as grammar is concerned, a reduction of inflections began.
The grammatical gender disappeared and inflections merged. As the inflections of the Old English disappeared, the word order of Middle English became increasingly fixed. This change made for a great loss of strong verbs. At a time when English was the language mainly of the lower classes and largely removed from educational or literary domains and influence, it was natural that many speakers applied the pattern of inflecting weak verbs to verbs which were historically strong.
This linguistic principle of adopting the pattern of a less common form to a more familiar one is called analogy.
The exclusive use of the pattern SVO (subject – verb – object) emerged in the twelfth century and has remained part of English ever since.
Changes in word-building were mainly confined to the borrowing of derivational affixes.
All native prefixes dropped out or became unproductive during this time; the few that survive today are non-productive: be- in besmirch, or for- in forgive, forstall; they were replaced by Latin: ex-, pre, pro, dis, re, anti- inter. Many Norman French suffixes were borrowed: -or vs. -er; -tion, -ment, -ee, -able as a suffix.
Norman French influence on phonology of English was relatively minor.
Initial [v] and [z] were adopted into the language: very is a Norman word. Initial [z] is still considered marginal in English .
By the late 1300's when Chaucer wrote the Cantebury Tales, more than half of the English vocabulary consisted of Norman French words, and this period marked the end of French influence on formation of English .

LONDON (AFP) – Liverpool forward Sadio Mane could be out of action for up to six weeks after picking up a hamstring injury on international duty, the club said on Tuesday.
A statement on the club's website said he was substituted just before the end of Senegal's 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over the Cape Verde Islands on Saturday.
"It has now been confirmed that he picked up an injury during that fixture that could keep him out of action for up to six weeks," the statement said.
Mane's absence is a huge blow for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp after the forward scored three goals in four Premier League appearances this season.
The injury is especially badly timed for Klopp with Liverpool's bitter rivals Manchester United visiting Anfield on Saturday.
Liverpool are already seven points behind United in the Premier League and can't afford to drop points against Jose Mourinho's in-form United.
Sane's value to Liverpool has been immense since his move from Southampton in 2016, but he has struggled to stay fit.

As the title suggests everything is very full on at the moment with only a week to go before I am back living in the Manawatu. We managed to find a house that we can have the animals, and although it is 30 mins drive to work (The house is in Marton) it is the house we immediately felt relaxed. So it must be the right house.
Thanks for your comments re my pictures, although I honestly can only see the difference in the bustline. We talked about it yesterday at the WLS support group and one of the guys there has lost 180 kgs and he still see's himself as fat, so it is all about individual perception i think. I am sure later on, I will be able to look back and see the difference, but at the moment it is "too close to home".
I know that I can certainly start to tell in my clothes, and I think I will be having to do some interim shopping in the next couple of months. Thank goodness for hour lunchs!!!
HEHE, oh theother cool thing about Marton is the gym. Total cost for one year full acccess $360. So I will be definately signing up for that, Access is from 5:30 am till 10:30 pm so lots of time to fit it in. Oh and Marton also has a 50 metre Indoor and Outdoor swimming pool, although it still closes down Late March as the population is not really big enough to keep it going through winter. :-(
Anyway if not before - will see you in the Manawatu J

A complex crisis in migration
The harrowing loss of life continues in the Mediterranean and we can no longer avert our eyes to the unfolding of a human disaster.
The crew of the LE Niamh have borne witness to the suffering, as have the crew of the LE Eithne before them.
The LE Niamh last week saved 367 lives in one incident - adding to the hundreds of lives saved by members of the Irish Naval Service over recent weeks.

"Slave to the Opinion of the A$$hole"
May 6, 2013 in Alive Campus, Campus Life
Note: This week's assignment is to write about a topic of my choice. However, due to finals, I haven't had the time to think of anything (also, I got so used to being given topics that, now that I have a choice, I'm overwhelmed). The following post is from my former and now inactive blog about Rutgers that did not get the attention I hoped it would; I am recycling it on AliveCampus because I genuinely believe it includes valuable advice, and because AC is a great outlet for a larger audience. Here it goes!:
Excuse my language. I'm just quoting my poetry professor.
In class, we were reading Alexander Pope's, "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot." In the poem, the speaker—most likely Pope—directs a verse to his former mentor, Joseph Addison, who is bitter that Pope eventually gained more fame than him. Pope notes that Addison is "dreading ev'n fools;" or in other words, is now so self-conscious about his worth as a poet that he comparing himself to "fops."
My professor then made the crude but significant comment: "Don't be a slave to the opinion of an asshole."
I found myself thinking about his words for days. I, like many other young-ish people, have self-confidence issues (I've probably mentioned this before, either in this blog or my former Rutgers blog). These issues have been multiplied since I began college—attending such a large university can make one feel very insignificant, and allows for one to be exposed to different people of different talents and levels of intelligence. So, although it's easier to fit in, it's difficult to assert your identity in a sea of similar people.
I still have these self-confidence issues, and I suspect I always will. But, having them, I can relate to others like myself. Last summer, I wrote a letter to a good friend who was beginning her first semester at the Academy of Musical and Dramatic Arts (AMDA)—a competitive visual arts school in New York City. As a musical theater major, she is surrounded by ambitious—and sometimes ruthless—peers. I thought it would be helpful to give her some advice that I learned through my experiences as college student:
- You're going to change. This time two years ago, I was flipping through my yearbook, reading the well wishes and comments from those who meant the most to me in high school. A lot of people said similar, generic things: "Be true to yourself," "Don't change" and "Continue to….". Although I appreciate all of the signatories and their words, and understand that most didn't have the time to write anything more heartfelt than "Good luck," I can't help but realize how unrealistic most of them were. With two years of university under my belt (Did you know that the Brits say "university" instead of college? I think it has a nice ring to it…and it works, too, since Rutgers is a university and not a college) I can easily say that I am not the same person as I was 24 months months ago. But don't fret! The change isn't drastic; just small alterations to your personality, as a result of the growth that comes with living on your own. Of course, the people you surround yourself with will affect whether this change is positive or negative. In my case, my friends have introduced me to things like recreational drugs, human sacrifice, and parkour, and I must say my life is much better (I'm kidding!). Nevertheless, the interactions you make in college/university/academy can certainly make or break your experiences. This brings me to my next "point."
- Don't subject yourself to social pressure(s). Also, don't tell yourself "I would never do…so and so." Embrace both the good and the bad of dorm and city life. Don't let anyone ever tell you what to do, how to feel, or where to go—and that doesn't mean be a social hermit or prude. Rather, do what makes you feel comfortable. Remember: your freedom is limitless. I'm definitely not advising you to be reckless; just…enjoy these next four years. Enjoy your youth!
- Don't let anyone hold you back. Like I said, the growth and friendships that are created in college will inevitably change you—and since you are moving away, the relationships you hold at home will be compromised. Of course, I don't doubt your ability to maintain friendships in [your hometown] while you're at [your school] (actually, I expect you to keep them all near and dear to your heart). But if you find yourself feeling guilty because you have not contacted any of your closest friends from home, STOP! Don't force yourself to preserve ties with your hometown; give college your all. Remember—you're time here is over, so don't let your past hold you back. I think I can speak for all of your friends when I say that, whatever happens in the future, they will still love you.
- Carpe omnia, or "seize everything." Recently, I've become too comfortable with the phrase, "carpe diem;" I actually have it hanging, in poster form, over my bed at school. But why seize the day when you seize everything? It seems very weird that "carpe diem" is so popular, when there exists a much more encompassing mantra. So I'm telling you: seize everything. Leave nothing untouched. I understand that telling Brittany Baran [who I wrote this letter for] to give it her all would be like telling a fish to swim. In other words, it's redundant. But I figured I'd leave you with this tip, just in case you were feeling lost, confused, or intimidated.
- With that being said I advise you to never compare yourself to anyone. I spent the majority of my freshman year sizing up my classmates, and despising myself whenever I happened upon someone more…intelligent, talented, good looking, outgoing, friendly, likable (the list is long and pathetic, so I'll just end it there). But now, with a bit more experience and plenty of time to mature, I came to realize that the energy I spent comparing myself to others could have been intended for more productive efforts. You see, everyone is different, so "sizing up the competition" is futile.
- Don't lose sight of who are. This may seem to directly conflict with my first point, so let me make myself clear: yes, you will change, both inwardly and outwardly. It's inevitable, because you're moving on and must adapt to new surroundings. But essentially, you—your core, conscience, etc.—will remain the same. So, keep this mind: you will be entering an immensely competitive environment that will be rife with stress, perfectionists, and—excuse my language—super annoying bitches. But you're above all that.
Although some of this may be geared towards my friend Brittany, I believe most of the advice I provided is universal to all young people struggling with their growth, identity, and transition. Like I said, it's all from my experiences as a college student.

You want a high-quality RJ45 communication cable and there's a plethora to choose from so what could possibly make AudioQuest cables that much more superior? Well, let me tell you. These cables are babied. They're coddled. Each cable's hand is held from its conception in Bill Low's head until it is carefully swaddled in product packaging and shipped off to your home.
AudioQuest recommends six to eleven servings of wholesome sound per day. And that shouldn't be hard considering the Long-Grain Copper (LGC) used in the RJ45G cable allows for a smoother and clearer sound than a cable using regular Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity (OFHC) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding "loss," without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance. The RJ45G also utilizes a large, 24-AW gauge conductor to reduce distortion even further, and the solid, high-density polyethylene insulator insures critical geometry stability.
It's important to know that an audio or video signal cannot be improved upon it's as good as it's going to get once it leaves your amp, DVD player, whatever component you're running. So why bother with a high-end cable? Simple: the signal can't be improved, but it can be damaged. Significantly. A lesser-quality cable leaves your signal wide-open to instabilities. A lesser-quality cable is constructed of bundled, twisted strands of conductive material up to 200 to 2000 strands per bundle. And as the signal wants to travel the path of least resistance (down the outside of the bundle), all those twisted strands inhibit the signal. They draw the signal from the outside of the bundle to the inside, where it fights to get back to the outside again. What's the result? Distortion. Lost data. Poor sound quality.
AudioQuest, on the other hand, engineers their cables with the highest quality, perfectly gauged solid-core, copper and silver conductors. And each conductor strand is slowly and precisely loomed, not twisted, into the final cable bundle and it's important to note that the maximum amount of strands AudioQuest has used in their longest cable, for flexibility requirements, is 32 (that's a few less than 200, and a lot less than 2000). Once they have constructed the conductor, AudioQuest wraps it in the dielectric (a fancy word for the insulating material) to keep the cable at peak performance levels at all times by absorbing as little energy as possible in order to avoid the reintroduction of energy (distortion) back into the conductor.
Cables, from hardware store electrical cable to the finest pure silver cables, have a direction much like wood has a grain. It has to do with molecular structure, which we won't get into. What you should know though is that a cable sounds much better when the signal is traveling in the proper direction. AudioQuest audio cables are marked for direction, so you don't have to figure it out.
What AudioQuest is doing is engineering cables with conductors that have all the proper attributes, for decreased distortion. They've arranged the conductors so the signal travels down a straight path, for decreased distortion. They've wrapped the conductor metal in a non-conductive material, to decrease distortion. The result is an astonishingly pure, very stable signal. Starting to make sense? AudioQuest loathes distortion. You'll love AudioQuest.

Keep in mind that time when BSNL loyal customers expressed over charging for Missed calls when it rises from Rs 15/month to Rs 30/month. At present BSNL starts attract new customers in that step it reduces and sets previous missed call service charge form Rs 30/month to Rs 15/month. It is a good move by BSNL.
This reduced missed call price will come into effect from August 14, 2014 missed call service is working well in BSNL. Missed call service is essential for entrepreneurs and job seekers when the network looses coverage in areas like basement or elevators. However the BSNL is wide spread network with good coverage in the country as well. When other network tell no network in some areas, BSNL exists. Furthermore Rs 15/month would appear to be a nominal charges affordable to know who called you when your network doesn't respond due to no signal or when you switched off your device.

Amalfi Residence (B&B and Homes) Conca dei Marini
One of the Amalfi Coast's best kept secrets
Three reasons why you'll love it here
- Attractive self catering apartments in Conca dei Marini
- Terraces directly above the sea of the Amalfi Coast
- Hotel style comfort in an authentic seaside home
The origins of Conca dei Marini's Amalfi Residence date back to the early 20th century when the then owners of the building transformed a number of rooms into a small Inn (locanda), right next to the workshop used for the weaving of palm leaves. Although much has changed since then, today's guests can still expect to receive the very same heartfelt hospitality awarded to the first visitors a century ago.
Antique furnishings and ornate headboards in wrought iron characterize the four apartments of Amalfi Residence: an elegant and typically Mediterranean seaside home in which the bright colors of the majolica floor tiles create a charming contrast with the pristine white of the walls. From the furnished balconies and terraces marvelous views of the sea can be seen. Each apartment is comprised of a bedroom, living room with kitchenette and bathroom and is equipped with hotel-standard amenities, including satellite televisions and wireless internet connectivity.
During the summer season, the residence operates a shuttle service transporting guests to and from Amalfi and the beach of Conca dei Marini. Reception staff will be pleased to organize boat excursions and tourist fishing trips for those wishing to experience the Amalfi Coast from the sea.
The Amalfi Residence is a great choice for those travelers keen to explore not only Conca dei Marini, but the whole of the Amalfi Coast. The apartments are just a few kilometers away the legendary coastal towns of Positano and Amalfi and the lesser known, but equally as beautiful, Atrani, Furore, and Praiano. Visitors need travel only a little further to reach the Sorrentine Peninsula and the Bay of Naples where there are yet more sites of great historic, artistic and natural interest.

Ultrasound equipment generates high-frequency sound waves that are transferred to a specific body area via a round-headed probe. The sound waves travel deep into tissue (e.g. muscles), creating gentle heat.
The old version of today's ultrasound was termed short-wave diathermy. This is seldom used today.
How is treatment administered?
The physical therapist usually applies a hypoallergenic gel to the skin, which creates a friction-free surface. Using gentle, circular motions with the probe, the therapist administers the treatment, which lasts several minutes.
Ultrasound can also be used in phonophoresis. This treatment involves the application of a topical anti-inflammatory. The anti-inflammatory medication can be mixed with the ultrasound gel and applied to the area using the probe. The ultrasonic sound waves force the medication to migrate into the tissues reducing inflammation.
Does the treatment hurt?
No. The patient will feel a tingling sensation in the treated area.
How does the patient benefit from ultrasound?
As the probe glides over the skin's surface, sound waves penetrate the skin's surface causing soft tissues to vibrate, creating heat. In turn, the heat induces vasodilation: drawing blood into the target tissues. Increased blood flow delivers needed oxygen and nutrients, and removes cell wastes.
The heat helps relieve pain and inflammation, reduce muscle spasms, and accelerate healing. Depending on the treatment area, range of motion may be increased.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Soup
1 box chicken broth
1 small onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
1 carrot, julienned
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups fat free half and half (can use any form of dairy, though)
1 tablespoon hot sauce (more or less depending on how spicy you like it)
2 chicken breasts, raw
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups other cheese of choice (I don't like blue cheese and I had parmesan on hand so I used parmesan)
Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours (or until chicken is tender and can be shredded easily). Shred chicken and serve.
Notes: the cream will separate from the broth but it is still good. Also, I ended up adding a lot more hot sauce to my soup once it was finished cooking.

3- Be civilized and enjoy debating
Hello and thank you for agreeing to debate me. I look forward to a lively debate. Also, welcome to DDO.
Firstly, most guns in the USA are bought legally.
"First, except for a few guns stolen from package services and dealers that were never sold, legally or otherwise, virtually every gun sold in the United States was legally purchased – by a law abiding citizen. "
In fact, at the risk of practically arguing for my opponent, the percentage of the guns bought by criminals and then used to commit crimes are microscopic. Insignificant.
"If the question is actually "What percentage of criminals legally buy a gun and commit a crime with it," the percentage is extremely small. The last data suggests that a fraction of one percent of those who commit a gun related crime will legally purchase a gun and then commit a crime with it. Most of those crimes are "crimes of domestic violence," essentially crimes of passion, and the gun happened to be in the house. If no gun were present, some other weapon, knives, clubs, fists or something else, would have been used instead. While the overwhelming majority of professional criminals will use stolen "street guns" that are cheap but very definitely illegal. "
However, that is not the question. In fact, the question is "Out of 100% of gun crimes, how many crimes are committed with legal guns?"
This greatly changes the status quo, while keeping it the same question. Two sides of the same coin.
The amount of murders and other violent crimes committed with legally purchased guns (that is, bought by the criminal who committed the crime in a legal way at a licensed gun dealer and signed all the paperwork) is around 6% of murders and very few other crimes.
From there, it's simple math. Around 94% of gun crime is committed with illegal guns, acquired illegally.
"The overwhelming majority of gun related crimes are committed with guns that have been stolen, and traded for drugs. Those guns are passed from criminal to criminal, sold and resold, and may very well be used in hundreds of crimes before they are recovered from someone accused of a crime. "
To use my over cited (sorry) source, yet again, we have a breakdown of how illegal guns are obtained.
"We do have a handle on the source of guns recovered from persons arrested and accused of a crime. Of guns recovered from persons arrested and charged with a crime:
84 percent of those guns were stolen in a burglary; including 4 percent stolen from a relative or a friend.
6 percent of those guns were confiscated and resold by a "law enforcement officer." Legalized armed robbery, in other words.
2 percent of those guns were stolen from the police or the military.
2 percent of those guns were stolen from a parcel or delivery service"
So, the overall total is this- only 6% of guns used in crimes are legal, 94% illegal.
Argument conclusion-
The overall amount of guns used in gun crimes is mostly illegal. If we begin gun control, it will stop, overall, only 6% of gun crimes. Most of the gun crimes committed with this 6% are crimes of passion and would likely have been committed with or without those guns. So gun control would work in a world with no illegal guns perfectly, but in a world with most crimes committed with illegal guns, it would do no overall good.

Maine has diverse forest lands which support a diverse and strong forest products industry. The vast majority of forest lands in the state are privately owned. The Maine Forest Service completed its State Forest Assessment and Strategy in 2010, a plan that includes the goal of enhanced benefit from the production of renewable energy using wood and wood wastes.
The combination of markets including a growing biomass energy industry and increased wood heating have created significant demand for wood material in Maine. The Maine Forest Service together with the University of Maine issued its "Woody Biomass Retention Guidelines" in 2010. This document provides recommendation on the sustainable harvest of forest residues.
In 2008 the Maine Forest Service issued its "Assessment of Sustainable Biomass Activity" which included identification and quantification of unutilized forestry residues.

Candi has always been AMAZING since the first day we met! Now its a routine for both me and my 4 years old sister! Shes just as obsessed :)

The sun shines bright on this charming meeting venue on the grounds of one of Kentucky's most revered historic sites. The visitor's center at My Old Kentucky Home State Park, located in Bardstown, mirrors the stately elegance and gracious ambiance of the Federal Hill mansion a short walk away. An expansive lobby filled with natural light is the prelude to the Great Hall, the main meeting space for the visitor's center. This spacious room provides an airy, comfortable atmosphere. Outside the Great Hall is the open-air event plaza, enclosed in a white-pillared colonnade that radiates toward Federal Hill and not far from the visitor's center is another elegant open-air pavilion known as the Rotunda.

If you work in the retirement plan industry, you most likely know that a very common place for service providers (primarily insurance companies) to play games with fees is with the Fixed Account such as Stable Value, GIC, etc. The logic being, why give a client 2.00% as a guaranteed return when you can give them 1.5% and keep the other 0.5% for yourself?
It's in this way that pricing games get played. Providers will ratchet down the yield (return) on this fund in order to ensure the fees they receive for the plan are where they want them to be. Doing this enables them to be perceived as less expensive because…shockingly…this reduction in yield is not required to be disclosed with any kind of specificity as a cost to the plan.
Big deal you say? I say, heck yes it is a big deal!
Let's say you're working on a $25 million plan with $5 million in the Fixed Account. The Stable Value fees are 0.68% Gross Expenses.
So for investment expenses associated with that asset class we have $5 million times 0.68%. That's $34,000 in fully disclosed expenses. For that cost, the participants are receiving 2.35% return (net of those fees).
Some competitors can take their equivalent fund (for simplicity, let's say they are identical) and reduce the yield to 1.50%. In doing so, they are shaving off 0.85% in return and tell the client that the expense of the portfolio is ZERO; that's right, GRATIS, FREE! This example with fully disclosed fees looks $34,000 more expensive than its competitor. Meanwhile, the competitor is actually collecting $42,500 in expenses. Not so fair, right!?
But, many advisors miss this shell game and, clients certainly do unless explicitly pointed out. They never identify that the 0.85% in lost yield was available to begin with and so don't perceive the opportunity cost.
Well, good news! Someone is finally doing something about it.
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center 403(b) is my new favorite non-client plan sponsor, as they fight to take down this unethical (my opinion) practice. They have filed a lawsuit against Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Co. on behalf of the plan and all other similarly situated clients of Voya. In their lawsuit, they state Voya collects "hundreds of millions of dollars annually in undisclosed compensation." The suit filed in Connecticut, Dezelan v. Voya alleges that Voya is setting their own comp and in doing so has breached its fiduciary duties to the plans. While it's still uncertain if the client will be able to prove that Voya is a fiduciary, it does shed public light on this issue; and it's about time!
My favorite line from the filing states that the "defendant's non-disclosure of the amount of the income gave it a competitive advantage over other plan service providers who disclosed all of their fees." We have experienced this competitive disadvantage ourselves.
To be clear, this isn't isolated to Voya. This is a common industry practice. The same attorneys on this case, Izard Kindall & Raabe, LLP have also filed similar lawsuits against Prudential, New York Life and Mass Mutual. We are hoping they prevail and this practice is no longer accepted in the industry.

What initially attracted me to cars when I was a kid, before I understood the magic of engineering or the drama of motorsport, before I became addicted to the sweet, pungent scent of gasoline and oil or had ever turned an engine-driven wheel in anger, was design. I didn't know that's what it was called then, I just knew that I loved the bold shapes, colors, and intricate details that make up the exterior of a pretty car.
Over the years, I've had the good fortune of meeting many other similarly afflicted individuals - "Petrolsexuals", as Clarkson calls us - and most of them would agree, design is what first got them hooked on cars as young hoons in waiting.
With those things in mind, I don't feel it's too far of a thematic stretch to add a new weekly design feature to the site. "Dienstag" means "design" auf Deutsch. It ain't pretty, but it keeps the alliteration theme going. It's also arguable that modern design, as we know it today, was born in Germany more than a hundred years ago with the Neues Bauen and subsequent Bauhaus movements.
So here goes. First up, a seriously lust-worthy collection of Braun audio gear designed by the legendary Dieter Rams.

Sheets2GCal is a FREE add-on for Google Sheets to allow fast event creation from spreadsheets.
To get started please install the extension from the Chrome Web Store (or "Add-ons" -> "Manage Add-ons"), then open any sheet and authorize modifications to your calendars by opening Sheets2GCal in the "Add-ons" menu.
If you require personal support please consider purchasing a Sheets2GCal support subscription HERE.
Before using Sheets2GCal please ensure that you have at least the following columns in the first row of your spreadsheet: 'Start', 'End' and 'Title'. Please remember to set the Spreadsheet to the same Timezone as your Google Calendar.
For the best results, please make a copy (file menu -> copy...) of the official Sheets2GCal Sheet which is set up with the correct column headers, formatting and data validation. You may also use your own Sheets if the first row contains the correct column headers.
The 'Start' and 'End' columns can be dates complete with day and time, or only the day in which case you also need 'Start Time' and 'End Time' columns (HH:MM). You may use any locale in the spreadsheets settings, and format the columns to display dates however you choose to view them - this will not affect how Sheets2GCal imports the events.
Sheets2GCal will also process columns called 'Description', 'Location', 'Repeat', 'Count' and 'Guests', if present. The 'Repeat' column should contain either 'daily', 'weekly', 'monthly' or 'yearly', and the 'Count' column the number of times to repeat the event.
Add a list of emails separated by commas in the 'Guests' field and these will be added to the event. Don't forget to check the "Send Invitations" checkbox if you want invitations sent (future events only).
Using Sheets2GCal with GCalToolkit
Repeat events are not compatible with spreadsheet data - unless you use the official Sheets2GCal Sheet which allows you to create simple repeat events directly in a spreadsheet for upload to Google Calendar. Spreadsheets saved from GCalToolkit can however be imported to a Google Sheet, and single events will be copied correctly. For repeat events you would have to add the "Repeat" and "Count" columns manually.
Sheets2GCal does not store any personal information and uses only the official Google API and OAuth authorization to access your calendars. Your email address will not be shared with 3rd parties, and you will not receive any promotional emails. Authorization for Sheets2GCal can be revoked at any time in your Google Account Settings at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.
Sheets2GCal is provided free of charge, and the developer may not be held responsible for any problems caused directly or indirectly by the software. For additional help please contact use the Chrome Webstore comments section, or buy a support licence on this website: click on "Buy Now" in the top menu.

Thank you for visiting us, the Bumper Filler Family, here on eBay, to find the 5-piece rear bumper filler set for your
1974, 1975 or 1976 Oldsmobile Delta 88.
GM and its affiliates simply never made aftermarket versions. Only a handful of people anywhere ever have or do. Between making and selling bumper fillers, our family has been at it for more than 30 years!
Weatherproof ABS plastic bumper fillers, like these, won't rot or crack (assuming normal usage), and will arrive pre-drilled, primed & ready to paint, though a qualified auto body professional would recommend light sanding and prep before painting any part like this. They're designed to fit like your original bumper filler, just use the hardware you already have to attach the new fillers.
These bumper fillers are NOT made from fiberglass. Fiberglass fillers are known to crack and break, meaning you end up wasting a lot of money if you buy those and that happens to you!
We hope we can earn your business even if we're a few dollars more than our competition, because we provide a quality product and personal customer service. Just please remember to keep our processing & shipping times in mind, generally 7 to 10 business days, which can be affected by events like severe weather and holiday-related delays. Even if the timetable feels a little long, chances are it's still better than what our competition can & will offer, and we're just a message or phone call away if you have questions. Plus, our prices include standard ground shipping in the continental U.S. If you're an international buyer or need them faster, please contact us to discuss expedited processing and shipping options that may be available.
Over our family's three decades in the business, we've learned that some 1970s & 1980s GM cars were built better than others. If yours isn't one that was, these fillers will still fit, you just might need to elongate a pre-drilled attachment point or make a slight additional alteration first. We know first-hand: the exact same set of fillers can fit one car one way yet when taken off that car and placed on a seemingly-identical copy of that model, not fit the same way without some adjustment first. If you're not experienced at body work, a body shop qualified and experienced with working with GMs and bumper fillers should be able to help with painting and installation.
Please do not hesitate to call us at (954) 755 – 5485 if you have any questions, if you don't see the fillers you want or need, or just want to make sure you're ordering the right fillers for your car. Customer service, comfort, and satisfaction matter to us. Just ask for the Bumper Filler Guy when you do.
Our family thanks you for doing business with us.
Payment: We accept payment through PayPal and must receive your payment in full before processing your order.
Shipping: We provide free standard ground shipping within the continental U.S. We will ship to Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and international locations at an additional cost. Please contact us for more information when it comes to that. However, we do not ship to post office boxes, APOs, FPOs, or military mail boxes.
Timing: You can expect your order to be delivered within approximately 7-10 business days after you place your order. The reason is it takes upwards of 3 to 5 business days to process your order and get it on its way, and the rest of the time is transit time, which depends on where you live relative to us and carrier issues that may then exist.
Responsibility: Please note that we are not responsible for labor expenses, towing expenses, additional repair expenses, rental car expenses or other related expenses caused by the duration of time required for you to receive the parts you order, or caused by any of the listed problems and any additional time required to fix them, or caused by incorrect installation and/or the use of any wrong, broken or defective part at any time. We're just responsible to deliver to you the part you validly order or either a refund or exchange if validly returned (see below about returns).
Returns: We accept returns of what you receive from us in the same condition as delivered if we ship the wrong part or if we ship the correct part but it is defective, so be sure you're ordering the right part for your car!
Pictures: Pictures we've included in our listing are for illustrative purposes only, to help you see what part is being offered or to show you a sample picture of the car that the part that we've described will fit. No automobiles are being offered for sale.
Again, we appreciate your business!

More Shopping Centre Offerings in the Planning for South Africa's Growing Urban Population
Large malls have become very popular over the years. In 1994 there were no more than 37 malls in the size range of 30 000 square metres and more. Within ten years, the number has grown to over 155, with no shortage of retail property to let in the urban areas. Johannesburg, Sandton, Midrand and Pretoria continue to be the hotspots for shopping in Gauteng.
With over 23 million square metres of retail GLA, South Africa is under the top seven countries in terms of shopping space. Retail is expected to grow tremendously over the next 14 years with another 2 000 000m2 of retail property space already in the planning phase. Retail sales growth was registered at 3,3% for the first five months of this year, while the South African economy also showed substantial cumulative growth over the past decade with a total of over 79% cumulative GDP growth in the period. Ongoing urbanisation is one of the main reasons for the growth in the number of retail properties offered. South Africa already boasts a 64% urbanisation figure, which is expected to grow with about another three percentage points in the years leading up to 2030.
The majority of shopping centres are located in Gauteng, followed by the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. Rural areas are still under-serviced with around 290 centres. However, the number is increasing to cater to shopping needs of people living in townships far from the main retail shopping areas. Although new retail property to let is in abundance, the vacancy rate in the existing centres is relatively low compared to office property vacancies.
Some of the shopping centres forming part of Redefine's portfolio of retail property to let in Gauteng are briefly introduced below.
The Boulders Midrand
Featuring 108 retail stores with a tenant mix that ranges from electronics to clothing suppliers, beauticians, medical practitioners and grocery stores, this mall, located in the heart of Midrand, boasts stable anchor tenants that include Pick 'n Pay and Game. With free open and covered parking available for over 1800 vehicles, 24-hour Security and facilities for disabled customers, it has long been one of the popular shopping malls in Midrand.
Centurion Mall
A super regional mall with over 200 retail properties to let, Centurion Mall with its open-air character is known for its range of restaurants and proximity to the N1 highway, which is accessible from the John Vorster off-ramp. Being only 15 minutes' drive from Pretoria, it is often frequented by consumers from the affluent Pretoria East area. The centre is in the process of being upgraded, which will bring its appearance and facilities in line with the latest mall design trends. Shoppers making use of the Gautrain as transport from Midrand and Pretoria and Sandton have easy access to the Gautrain buses, though the station is a short walking distance away. As a well-known and long-serving mall dating from 1983, the centre has over 6000 parking bays and a total of over 106 000m2 property to let accessible from no fewer than nine entrances. Anchor tenants include Checkers Hyper, Woolworths, Game, Pick 'n Pay, and more. It covers three levels of stores catering to entertainment, dining, fashion, grocery, gift, electronics, and communication shopping needs.
Golden Walk
Germiston CBD boasts this well-located commuter transport shopping centre covering a total GLA of 45 124 square meters within walking distance from the train station and taxi rank areas at 141 Victoria Street. It has a single-level design, which makes it easy for commuters to do convenience shopping on their way to and from work.
Bryanston Shopping Centre
Situated in the fast growing suburb of Bryanston, the smaller mall with around 40 retail stores to let is located at the corner of William Nicol Drive and Ballyclare Road. True to Redefine's commitment to upgrade all the properties in our portfolio, the conveniently situated centre was recently refurbished to bring its look and feel in line with the 21st century designs.
Retailers looking to cater to the convenience end of shopping will appreciate the excellent mix of retail stores to let at the above and other malls in the Redefine property offering.

I'm keen to know the six things too.
Probably not exactly what you've requested here, but I've found this book reasonably helpful and practical. Written by parents who've gotten through the younger years. It's published by Anglican Youthworks. Not very expensive either.

Start writing Deb. Start writing for the benefit of future generations. Start telling your story and experiences so that your children's generation will have someone, something to turn to. If there is no book in existence now.... create one!!

Basic Rule: Before you make a donation, call Ronald J. Cappuccio, J.D., LL.M.(Tax) at (856) 665-2121.
Generally, you can deduct the full amount of cash contributions up to 50 percent of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) determined on your US 1040 Income tax Return. Most taxpayers do not have to worry about this limit.
The government has established an onerous record-keeping burden to discourage you from taking your rightful charitable deductions on your tax returns.
Record Keeping Rule: For donations of $250 or more, you must get a written receipt from the charity before you file your tax return. The charitable receipt must include:
Further, Cash donations must be substantiated by a cancelled check, bank record, credit or debit card statement, or by a written statement provided by the charity.
Gifts of Property. There are even harsher rules for gifts of property and tangible items.In order for you to get a deduction, the charity must actually use the item to further its tax-exempt purpose. For example, if you donate artwork to a charitable organization, you get no deduction if the charity does not display or use it. Further, there must be an expensive, independent contemporaneous appraisal to demonstrate value if the deduction exceeds $5,000.
Qualified Appraiser.
A qualified appraiser must:
In addition, the IRS forces the appraiser to declare that he or she meets the requirements for being "qualified." Taxpayers frequently must attach a sukmmary summary to the tax return. The summary should reflect records that:
Clothing and Household Items. Deductions for contributions of clothing and household items are permitted only if they are in good used condition or better. Household items include furniture, electronics, appliances and linens. There is an exception allows for single items that are not in "good" condition or better if they are appraised at more than $500.
